why don't you go to the local farm store and buy a frikkin' garden sprayer and a book of matches... Not to be an @ss, but get a grip and go play on flamethrowerfiles.com and save bandwidth that could be used for spudding... No thanks. This is called the NON SPUD RELATED discussion. ill discuss NON ...

we havent and wont. we were planning to hypothetically use it with fuel at 110 psi to 60 psi. only in between.

thanks thought

Here are some pics showin what we've done so far. The Fuel tank: (all our PVC is pressure rated to 220 PSI, used pvc weld, and JB weld over the top) http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk19/mik3v/Summer189.jpg Top of the Tank: 300 PSI guage and fill port. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk19/mik3v...

Okay so two friends and I are making a flamethrower. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk19/mik3v/OURFlameThrower.jpg [/img] These are the plans we have edited from elsewhere and created this prototype. Right now we are having trouble with our Blow gun assembly that is supposed to act as our trigge...

It seems like you've got this week's sardonic wit brigade. No offence guys, but a little less sarcasm (particularly on the repeat points) and a little more useful input would benefit the forum. Also, c11man - you seem to have a habit of assuming the worst possible scenario to be the probable scenar...

ok I"m suprised a moderator hasnt brought down the BAN-HAMMER on this thread by now. lol. plus too gasoline would weaken the pvc and make it rubbery. PVC is soluble in gasoline. not only is there a risk of combustion, there is just a risk of it popping like a big flamable balloon. if you wanna do i...

oh. i assumed it was pressure rated since it said nsf.

what would the pressure stuff say?

hi wrote:"Is this safe?"- no

there is nothing safe about shooting gasoline out of a pressurized line and lighting it on fire.

oh you are very intelligent. thanks so much for your wonderful input.

then what the heck? it says nsf on the pipe. they didnt have any that didnt say "non-pressure"

Okay so my friend and i are making a flame thrower. We are having a pvc tank pressurized with an air compressor. Gasoline is going to be inside the fuel tank too. We have pressure valves and other precautions. The gun itself is made of copper fittings and pieces. We have a question about the pvc pip...

Guys, those are like BIC lighters compared to what OP is trying to build. :wink: haha yes they are. So, I am leaning towards doing gasoline in a pvc fuel tank pressured with propane. sound good? i would really like to just pressure it with air though because we have an air compressor and its cheape...

okay so my friend and I are creating a flamethrower. We have seen people use an oval looking pvc fuel tank. But we want to use gasoline as the main fuel and we've hear that gasoline corrodes pvc pipe. Therefore, does anyone know how else we could make the fuel tank. We are going to pressurize the ta...
